Each album is rated according to their remastered sound on a regular CD player (because I assume most, like me, won’t have the means to listen to them in wanky 5.1) and on the quality of their extra music which (excepting Naked, containing exactly zero bonus tracks) are comprised of unreleased outtakes, alternate/extended versions and/or unreleased songs, some of which are completely disposable, some of which aren’t really unreleased, and others which rival the takes that would beat them out. Instead, I hope to answer the question of whether these remasters are worth the extra ten dollars you’ll have to shell out over and above the price of the original releases (to say nothing of settling for their two dollar, used vinyl equivalents) to get your grubby hands on them.

Oh, and as a note of some consequence, Dualdiscs will not fit in a slot-loading disc drive due to their thickness, so, unless you want to open your Mac Mini with a spackle knife, don’t force it.įor the sake of brevity, I’ll refrain from discussing the significance of the band in relation to some monolithic facet of music history (“They presaged the early-21st Century rise of the freaky-voiced frontman!”), or the summer in high school I met a certain girl and discovered More Songs at the same time. Also contained on the DVD side are most of the band’s music videos (though not “Once in a Lifetime,” for reasons that surpass understanding given the ample room the format affords) and a few live performances. First released as an ungainly and, frankly, unattractive box set with a title that’s a little more than a tongue-in-cheek description, the albums contained in the Brick have since been released individually with expanded artwork, bonus tracks not included on 2003’s Once in a Lifetime box set, and remastered by guitarist Jerry Harrison with 5.1 mixes on each disc’s DVD side. Rhino, quickly becoming the re-release darlings of the indie community, gave an early Christmas present to Talking Heads fans late last year in the form of The Talking Heads Brick: the longĪwaited reissues of the band’s entire catalogue in remastered, Dualdisc format.
